Local FSA offices are gathering information and submitting reports, which will be sent to the USDA and are the basis of any disaster declaration that may be made. As of Friday, only 14 Ohio counties had reported suspected damage. If you have not reported damage to your local FSA office yet, please do it immediately.

 

Congressman Space also recommends that you contact your U.S. Congressional District representatives and U.S. Senators, sharing with them your immediate concerns, and the need to improve perennial crop insurance and disaster assistance programs. Visit www.opgma.org to locate your local FSA office and government officials.
